Outdoorzy targets outdoor enthusiasts

OutdoorzyNo, not doggers. At least, I hope not. Instead, Outdoorzy is a social networking site for mountain bikers, rock climbers, hikers and anybody else who hates being cooped up indoors.

It has all the usual social networking features, like profiles etc, but also has a bunch of features specific to the outdoor lifestyle, like trip reports and gear reviews. The nearest equivalent I can think of is Everytrail – which throws in GPS features – although presumably if outdoor retailers started to include more community features in their sites, they'd compete too.

However, co-founder Wade says Outdoorzy is keen to work with businesses, allowing them to create business profiles and network with potential customers on the site in the near future.

At the moment, most of the site's members are from the US, but he says it's picking up steam in the UK, Europe, Asia and South America too.
